    Last night I found out the hard way. I tried WD40 on the teeth because it was jammed with thick remnants. The next sheet of paper cased the shredder to explod in my face with a ball of fire. Lost some hair, brows, lashes, and skin was slightly burned. The house stunk for hours.
    Be careful and go paperless on statements from companies you deal.

      Muahahaha HAHA HAAAAA!!!!!!!!...... I really wish I had read this comment before using WD40 myself, I didn't even finish the video. I thought I was safe using silicon WD40. My paper shredder exploded in my face. I lost all my eye lashes, some brows and hair. Now my face is in pain.

      I guess what happens is the bin fills with WD40 vapor and the heat from the cutters ignites the gas. I rather use a non petroleum oil like vegetable oil because it is safe on all plastics, and use cardboard instead of paper since cardboard doesn't stick to the cutters.

    I have a small home office model and I bought some oil and it came in a 12 oz squirt top bottle and I had to cut the spout which is dumb because there’s no nozzle cap. Tf is this !? Gonna have to tape the nozzle to frm spilling it !

    • @WhitakerBrothers
      @WhitakerBrothers  3 роки тому +2

      The oil won't evaporate. Just set it up on a high shelf where it won't spill.
      Good suggestion for including a little cap of some sort, though. Nobody's ever suggested that before.

      Why don’t you try one of the small plastic caps from the hardware store that you twist spliced electrical wires....I keep all sizes for different needs, like caulking tubes that are half used. I use them much more for things that they weren’t intended for than I do for splicing insulation!

    Total rubbish about the problem with using wd 40. Just about impossible to intentionally start a fire or try to get an explosion. Talk about misinformation this video is the quintessential example of waste of ones time by viewing it!!
